What Makes Alcohol Treatment Centers in Texas the Nation’s Best

With over 300 outpatient and 400 inpatient alcohol treatment centers in the United States, it may be hard for those who are seeking help for alcohol addiction to choose the facility that is right for them. It is important to choose a facility that provides the most effective treatments for each and every condition, as well as guidance and support from the beginning to end of treatment. The following criterion are just a few aspects of what makes alcohol treatment centers in Texas the nation’s best.

Alcohol treatment centers must follow strict guidelines in order to provide the best services to their patients. Before treating any patient, rehab centers must be accredited by the Joint Commission International, as well as the National Association of Addiction Treatment Providers and the Association of Intervention Specialists. The staff must also be able to present their accreditations, certifications and licenses upon request. The alcohol treatment centers in Texas employ only the best of the best board-certified doctors, nurses, psychiatrists, therapists, nutritionists and rehab clinicians. They are highly-qualified to diagnose and treat a wide variety of conditions.

What do Alcohol Treatment Programs Include?

Because everyone experiences addiction and reacts to treatment differently, alcohol treatment programs include multiple detoxification (detox) options, as well as a combination of therapeutic modalities, each of which help patients cleanse their minds and bodies. Depending on the severity of the addiction, detox will last anywhere from 5-7 days to a couple of weeks. During this process, medical professionals will safely remove all toxic substances from the body. Patients will experience symptoms of withdrawal which are uncomfortable and most times unbearable. Withdrawal symptoms will include irritability, anxiety, insomnia, headaches, mood swings, excessive sweating, changes in appetite, nausea, chills, muscle aches, seizures, heart attacks, tremors, difficulty breathing, hallucinations, paranoia, depression and suicidal thoughts. Medical professionals are equipped to administer medicinal and nutritional support in order to help ease the symptoms.

Why the Detox Process is Important?

One of the most important steps in the detox process is nutritional support. Alcohol abuse causes detrimental effects to the heart, kidneys, immune system, liver and stomach. The enzymes in the stomach break alcohol down into a toxic substance called acetaldehyde, which is a relative to formaldehyde, a substance that can damage both the gastrointestinal tract and brain. After the stomach breaks the alcohol down, it reaches the liver and becomes acetate, which can become toxic and cause sweating, nausea and vomiting. Alcohol intake also reduces the productivity of the immune system which causes the susceptibility to all kinds of illnesses. Additionally, consuming alcohol causes dehydration and an increased heart rate which can lead to cardiac problems and nutrient deficiencies. Medical professionals will administer necessary vitamins and minerals in order to replenish and restore the body back to a normal state.

Following the detox process, patients will begin a combination of therapeutic modalities, including:

Group Therapy: Attending therapy in groups allows patients to share their experiences with one another. They are able to give others insight into addiction and how effective treatment can be. It is also important to be around people who understand what they are going through. Group therapy is the best way to create a large network of support which is extremely necessary for a successful recovery.

Outdoor Therapy: Some of the best therapy takes place outside, being one with nature. The fresh air, beautiful scenery and warm sun significantly boost motivation and self-esteem. It also allows patients to learn how to expect the unexpected because nothing is controlled outdoors; therapists cannot control the weather or how high the mountain is to climb. Patients learn to handle difficult situations on their own without the dependence of stimuli.

Family Therapy: Most people do not realize how much family plays a part in addiction. Their genetics, family history of addiction or interaction with their family may play a huge part in their addictive personalities. Family therapy educates patients and their loved ones about addiction, as well as how to support someone during the difficult process of recovery.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy: Therapists help patients recognize their maladaptive behaviors in order to replace them with positive coping mechanisms. This therapy helps patients take control of their behaviors in order to live independently from stimuli. It prepares patients to face peer pressure and temptation when they return to their normal lives.

Each therapy is designed to help patients pinpoint their maladaptive behaviors in order to replace them with positive coping mechanisms, as well as connect with their inner psyche to recognize certain triggers that may contribute to their addictive personalities.
